 As an avid lover of simplicity in the desktop, I like to keep only the
 windows I'm currently using open. So when I message someone on Pidgin, and
 go back to my work, I close the window to reduce clutter in my taskbar.
 This is also why I use the indicator applet, to keep messages from popping
 up in my face.

 Now, the problem is, when closing my conversation window, that
 conversation is ended, and their names no longer show up in the indicator
 applet. So if I wanted to pop in to send another message, I have to open
 up pidgin, and find that person on my buddies list again.

 What I'm proposing, is to have an option in Tools -> Preferences ->
 Conversations, to have conversations remain in the indicator applet even
 after you close the window, so you can click the applet, click their name,
 and send them another message. Now in order to close the conversation
 completely, I propose you would have to click Conversation -> Close in the
 menu bar of the conversation.

 It may not be for everybody, but I think this little optional adjustment
 will be very helpful for many like me who prefer to keep things simple.
